My Dream Scenario for Arsene Wengers last 18 months as Arsenal boss by Sean
I would love nothing more than Arsene Wenger to go and spend some of our money to strengthen the team in January with two players needed to go on to lift the title in May. Then again in the summer, to push on for bigger n better things next season (UCL) with a complete sweep for his final season at the club. I’ll explain;
Arsenal have money to spend on players in the next two transfer windows and with winter’s window approaching in almost 2 weeks, I was thinking as to what realistic signings we could make to help us! We are in need of a decent Winger/Attacker and a DM for cover and competition for Francis Coquelin – when he is back or in need of a rest – Flamini is okay for the moment but can only be short term. He can’t last and Arteta isn’t good enough for Arsenal FC anymore, never mind being our Captain! We have injuries galore and now with Danny out basically for the season as well, so a new attacker is needed too.
Now keeping in mind not a lot of top players are available in January and they will be approached hopefully in the summer, as I’m sure we will do big business on a CB and Striker. We need some new blood in the squad to help with this title push and against Barcelona in the UCL last 16 games.
Our last few signings have been nothing short of brilliant!! Our record breaking keeper and our Number 10, Peter Cech and Mesut Ozil respectively, just awesome. and, as well as our explosive gifted star player Alexis Sanchez, shows that we CAN make a great signing or two! With the team we have so far, injury free, we are only a couple of signings away from having probably the best squad Arsenal FC has ever had!
If Arsene Wenger is really going to step aside once his contract is up at the end of the 16/17 season, he might just have a complete squad heading into his last campaign as Arsenal Boss! If he signs two players in each of the next two windows (LW and DM in January, CB and ST in the summer) he will have a team ready to go on to win the league this season and possibly have a great squad, not just first X1, to challenge on all fronts next season. Obviously players will be sold and leave, be loaned out or coming back from loans, so that all that has to come into it as well. Arsenal also won’t give up on their philosiphy of nuturing young footballers from the Academy to the First team and we have a lot of real good prospects in there, so what do we do?
Winter – Buy Wanyama and Mahrez
Summer – Buy Stones and Aubameyang
Sold or leave in 2016: Flamini,Arteta,Rosicky,Debuchy,Ospina, Sanogo,
Loaned out for 16/17:
Ox, Hayden, Akpom, Iwobi, W.Silva, Szczesny, Zelalem,
Back for 16/17:
Jenkinson, Martinez and Gnabry
Academy players: (can help also)
Bielik, Adelide, Crowley, Malen… there’s a few more too!
Imagine the squad we would have with the 4 signings for next season! The two in winter would help us push for the title in May, and by next season we would be ready to take on the football world! Just my dream;
GK: Cech – Martinez
RB: Hector – Jenko
LB: Nacho – Gibbs
CB: Stones – Boss – Per – Gabriel
DM: Coquelin – Wanyama -Chambers
MF: Rambo – Ozil – Wilshere
RW: Mahrez (ox) – Campbell
LW: Alexis – Welbz
CF: Giroud – Theo – Aubameyang
U21s and breakthrough youngsters also!!
Want to hear your opinions too and to what use think is best? How much would the four players cost? Would this squad be capable of dominating next season? Will two signings be enough to push us on to the league title this season? Would Wenger actually gamble for all the glory in his last hooray for Arsenal? Just a thought!!
